Gotta disagree with the assessment of the keyboard. I've been playing with one for a few weeks now and I still don't like the flush mount keys. SureType system aside (I don't much like that either, but I'm a pain like that), I long for some better tactile feedback.
I DO agree with the attractive comment though -- this is a pretty slick phone. Looks good, feels solid. Nice change of pace from recent Samsung sliders that felt kind of cheap and plastic-y. I thought the back was red, not pink, but I'm old and wear glasses.
